How Does Transcendental Meditation Work?

From the moment we wake up, to the moment we fall asleep, the mind is constantly active. Transcendental Meditation allows the conscious mind to experience quieter levels, and ultimately to transcend, or go beyond even the finest impulse of thought, and experience pure consciousness, the source of thought - the field of infinite creativity and intelligence. The mind is profoundly relaxed, yet wide-awake and by gaining this deep level of rest, both mind and body are refreshed and replenished.

Improved health

Researchers have concluded that Transcendental Meditation enlivens the body's inner intelligence, supporting its innate ability to heal itself. By allowing mind and body to access the source of nature's intelligence deep within, TM can bring about marked improvements in every aspect of life: mind, body, behaviour, and society.

"Within two or three months of TM, we begin to see high levels of integration of frontal brain connectivity. Interestingly, that integration does not disappear after the practice —increasingly, that orderly brain functioning is brought into daily activity."

"What I appreciate most when I meditate is the inner calm and deep rest. It makes my mind clearer - and my day so much smoother."
